Summary

Basal encephalocoeles are rare congenital anomalies. Imaging like CT and MRI can reveal these defects and associated brain abnormalities, aiding diagnosis and surgical planning.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Basal encephalocoeles are uncommon congenital malformations.
  • These anomalies often present with distinct external facial and internal cerebral features.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical and imaging characteristics of basal encephalocoeles.
  • To highlight the utility of CT and MR imaging in diagnosing these conditions.
  • To discuss surgical management options.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of eight cases of basal encephalocoeles.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations, facial features, and cerebral anomalies.
  • Correlation of findings with CT and MR imaging results.

Main Results:

  • Eight cases demonstrated characteristic facial and cerebral abnormalities.
  • CT and MR imaging effectively delineated skeletal defects and brain anomalies.
  • Basal encephalocoeles were identified in cases of median cleft face syndrome.

Conclusions:

  • Basal encephalocoeles require thorough imaging for diagnosis.
  • CT and MR imaging are crucial for surgical planning.
  • Surgical correction, including facial bipartition, can be performed effectively.
